If I Had My Druthers Lyrics & Tabs by Bobby Darin & Johnny Mercer
If I Had My Druthers
guitar chords lyrics
Johnny:
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Then anything else I know.
While you'd druther hustle
Accumulatin' muscle
I'd druther watch daisies grow.
While they're growin' slow an'
The summer breeze is blowin'
My heart is overflowin' and so.
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Than anything else I know.
Robert, you think you could agree with that kind of philosophy?
Bobby:
Than anything else I know.
Robert, you think you could agree with that kind of philosophy?
Bobby:
Agree? I live it!
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Then work any whereas at all.
Johnny:
Don't nobody call.
Bobby:
It ain't that I hates it
Why, in fact, I even contemplates it
While watchin' raindrops fall.
I sits there for hours
Developin' my powers
Of figurin' how flowers gets tall.
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Then anything else at all.
Johnny:
If I had my druthers
To choose from all the others
I'd druther be like I am.
Bobby:
I like you just the way you are.
This thing called employment
Detracts from my enjoyment
And tightens my diaphragm.
Johnny:
Oh, you poor lamb!
Whilst I'm doin' nary
A thing that's necessary
I'm happy as a cherrystone clam.
Bobby:
Some of my best friends are clams!
If I had my druthers
To choose from all the others
I'd rather be like I am.
Both:
If we had our druthers
We'd rather have our druthers
Than anything else we know.
Our forefathers wrote it
And often times we quote it
Whenever we're feelin' low.
Bobby:
Monsieur John?
Johnny:
As direct descendants …
Bobby:
We figure independence …
Both:
Ain't only in Missouri and so.
If we had our druthers
We'd rather have our druthers
Than anything else we know.
Johnny:
Why sho' …
Both:
Than anything else we know …
Bobby:
Yebo' …
Both:
Then anythin else we know …
Enco' …
Than anything else we know.
Bobby:
Goodnight.
Johnny:
Leave a call.
